• Reviews assist in evaluating interoperability concerns in Smart Grid projects
SGIP
Presenter
Presentation Notes
CoS: compendium of standards and practices considered to be relevant for the development and deployment of a robust, interoperable, and secure Smart Grid. Any standard, practice or guide listed in the Catalog has gone through a rigorous, multi-part review by industry experts in the SGIP process. Multiple standards exist in the catalog that address the same capabilities Serves as the primary reference guide which lists standards and practices that advance interoperability for Smart Grid applications and have gone through a rigorous technical review by industry experts involved in the SGIP SGIP does not endorse or recommend the standards; rather it strives to provide an objective assessment against stated criteria. Decisions are left to those who best understand their circumstances for implementing smart grid devices and systems. These standards and the associated SGIP reviews (SGCC, SGAC, SGTCC, SGIMC) are available to assist those persons in evaluating interoperability concerns in project proposals.

Priority Action Plans
• PAPs arise from the analysis of the applicability of standards to the Use Cases of the Smart Grid
• PAPs include identified experts from related Standard Development Organizations (SDOs)
• Currently there are 12 active PAPs
• Each PAP is at different point in the review cycle
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Currently there are 12 active PAPs, including the recently approved PAP 22-EV Fueling Submetering. Each PAP is in a different point in the review cycle depending on what happens with the PAP output when handed off to the standards developer. Not every PAP can be on the fast track; and more time is required for some than others. Each standards developer has its process, and the handoff to the standards developer, and the resulting documentation takes time before it cycles back to the PAP for evaluation.
Priority Action Plan 02Guidelines for Assessing Wireless
Standards for Smart Grid Applications
• Finalizing publication of NIST IR 7761 v2 - Guidelines and examples for wireless communication for Smart Grid applications
• Updates specific sections in the previous Guidelines v1
• Provides assessment of the many types of wireless technologies used in different power grid environments
• Identifies the suitable capabilities and weaknesses for plausible conditions of operations
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Priority Action Plan (PAP) 02 is dedicated to reviewing existing documentation and ongoing work to assess the capabilities and weaknesses of wireless technologies operating in both licensed and unlicensed bands. The PAP is finalizing publication of NIST IR 7761 v2 with guidelines and examples for wireless communication for Smart Grid applications. This effort updates specific sections in the previous Guidelines v1.0 and provides an assessment of the many types of wireless technologies which can be used across the grid in many different field environments. The update identifies the suitable capabilities and weaknesses for plausible conditions of operations so the choice to use wireless can be made with objectivity. Wireless can be used in field environments across the Smart Grid including generation plants, transmission systems, substations, distribution systems, and customer premises communications. The choice of wireless or non-wireless, as well as type of wireless must be made with knowledge of the appropriate use of the technology. The work of this PAP will provide an assessment of many types of wireless technologies. Different types of wireless technologies also have different availability, time-sensitivity, and security characteristics that may constrain what applications they are suitable for. Therefore, different wireless technologies must be used with knowledge of their varying capabilities and weaknesses in all plausible conditions of operation.

The tool has been constructed based on the UCAIug Green Button Test Plan and validates data according to the Test Plan. Efforts like Green Button have already been adopted by utilities serving more than 30 million customers
Priority Action Plan 22Electric Vehicle (EV) Fueling Sub Metering Requirements
• Separate metering of Personal EV loads• Tracking of PEV electrical consumption for credits• Utility need to monitor PEV loads for predictive analysis• Requirements and standards needed to specify
• Accuracy, performance, security, • Utility revenue grade billing data & 3rd party billing,• Data formats, and certification
• Participants: – utilities, regulators, EV supply equip, auto manufacturers,
The impetus for EV fueling submetering is driven by the need to provide utilities, energy retailers, and other energy service providers the ability to identify, measure, and manage EV charging loads. Also of importance is the capability to provide real time EV charging electricity usage and cost information to the customers in a cost effective and easy to understand manner. Presently, separate measurement and billing of electricity for EV charging requires customers to pay for the installation of a parallel utility approved electrical meter at their residence. Installation can be expensive and requires a separate utility customer account and invoice just for EV charging. Submeters offer a viable, alternative, cost effective and convenient approach. A submeter is an electrical metering device in-line with the primary premise meter and measures only the electricity used through the dedicated circuit for EV charging. It enables separation of EV charging kWh usage and time of use applied pricing on a single customer account. There are several segmented activities being investigated to address regulatory and standards needs for the development and deployment of EV fueling submetering. The California Public Utilities Commission has initiated an EV Submeter Protocol proceeding and has determined the submeter can conceivably be a smart electrical measurement device attached to the circuit; embedded in the EV supply equipment (EVSE) transferring electrical power to the EV from the grid; an integrated device in the EV charging inlet circuit; or embedded in a portable smart plug adapter. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has established a specific task force consisting of EVSE manufacturing representatives to determine the requirements for EVSE Embedded Submetering. Currently there are neither defined requirements nor specific standards for these methods of submetering. Krishnan Gowry from Pacific Northwest National Lab is the Chairman for the SGIP PAP 22 EV Fueling Submetering Requirements effort. Krishnan comments “The purpose of the PAP is to bring the disparate activities and initiatives together to work toward a set of national standards that especially encompasses the requirements for a utility billing grade EV submeter solution.” The members of the PAP are a collaborative team of regulatory and standards experts consisting of representatives from NEMA, ANSI, NIST, Utility Commissions, EVSE manufacturers, meter manufacturers, utilities, and system integrators. This team is to determine the requirements for submetering, and evaluate existing meter standards and regulatory specifications to determine the submeter elements needing standards development. Submetering requirements are to address measurement accuracy, accessibility, certification, data formatting, communications, etc. needed to ensure national consistency and compatibility in the development and deployment of EV fueling submeters.

Presentation Notes
This activity relates to ANSI C12.19 and C 12.22 standards and to cybersecurity requirements. SGIP members plan to begin work on a seed document that could be incorporated within an ANSI Technical Report or a NEMA Document. Subsequently, the requirements could be incorporated into an existing ANSI C12 Standard or a new ANSI C12 Standard could be developed. If appropriate, a new SGIP Priority Action Plan (PAP) project could be established. SGIP Group: Smart Grid Cybersecurity Committee. Contact: Marianne Swanson, [email protected]
Building on the Department of Energy document, “Electricity Subsector Cybersecurity Risk Management,” a case study was drafted that walks the reader through a hypothetical utility applying the DOE’s cybersecurity risk management process. This project investigates the implementation of smart grid cybersecurity interoperability standards and how an organization chooses which standards to implement based on their risk profile. A subgroup will be formed to finalize the case study and develop a one-day training class. The class will provide an understanding of the key components of a cybersecurity risk management program and the skills to implement the processes within their organization.

• Business and technical implementation of transactive energy– Interoperable retail cost-of-service and competitive tariffs
within current regulatory policy– Residential, commercial, industrial, DG and storage– Energy commodity and distribution services– Based on existing or to-be-developed standards
Transactive energy concepts and techniques based on existing or new SGIP standards offer the promise of transactive retail rate designs that can best accommodate two-way transactions between customers and energy commodity/distribution services providers. Such rate designs communicate prices that reflect costs and support public policy and intelligent energy use. This development is well-aligned with net energy metering and distributed/decentralized energy. SGIP members will focus on the business and technical implementation of transactive energy to retail cost of service and competitive tariffs within current regulatory policy using current or new standards and are seeking the involvement of interested SGIP members for this activity.

Sensors for Transmission and Distribution Networks
• Increasing variability of electrical generation & load• More Smart Grid sensors provide more information• Enable operators to respond rapidly• Lack of standards limits sensor deployment • SGIP Members to develop requirements
– for any new standards or extensions to existing standards– to improve the resiliency and reliability of the power grid
The increasing variability of generation and load requires significantly more monitoring of transmission and distribution systems by operators. Ubiquitous smart grid sensors will provide the necessary information to allow power system operators to respond rapidly, and enable automated response to developing instabilities that can lead to cascading outages. Sensors, such as optical current transducers and clamp-on line sensors, have the capability to provide real-time measurements, but the lack of established standards inhibits their interoperability and limits their deployment. SGIP members will develop requirements for any new standards or extensions to existing standards, that are needed to improve the resiliency and reliability of the future grid with its “new normal” of rapidly changing operating conditions to accommodate these new sensors. SGIP Group: Transmission-and-Distribution (TnD) DEWG Contact: Gerald FitzPatrick, [email protected]
Smart grid capabilities depend upon information exchanges between cooperative organizations. The stewardship for the information exchanged and collected is often not addressed until the later stages of project designs or deployments. This can lead to delays and obstructions to achieving project and business objectives of all parties involved. SGIP is seeking to convene an industry group of relevant stakeholders to develop requirements (within an agreement framework) for data sharing and usage along with a roadmap for trial and implementation.

Weather Information PAP• Priority Action Plan (PAP) 21 authorized to coordinate
development of weather-related user criteria• Project objectives include a set of information
requirements designed to facilitate harmonization: – Weather-related information models – Information exchange models – Used in smart grid applications
• Volunteer experts needed with knowledge in: – Weather information exchange standards for solar, wind,
and grid operations use cases– World Meteorological Organization’s WXXM standard
Communication of measured and forecasted weather data is important for diverse Smart Grid applications. To address this need, Priority Action Plan (PAP) 21 was authorized last year to coordinate development of weather-related user criteria with inputs from a wide range of industries including renewable/DER suppliers, distribution utilities, ISO/RTO markets and forecasters. The project objectives include a set of information requirements designed to facilitate the harmonization of weather-related information models and information exchange models to be used in smart grid applications. PAP 21 encourages participation by interested stakeholders. SGIP Group: PAP 21 – Weather Information Contact: Allen Hefner, [email protected] One additional and important solicitation related to PAP 21… We are looking in particular for a technical expert that can help lead the work of the PAP and facilitate the meetings. This is a critical PAP for smart grids and SGIP and presents an opportunity to make a visible and notable impact.
Priority Testing and Certification ProgramsNeeds Identification & Action Plan Development
• Led by SGIP’s Smart Grid Testing and Certification Cmte• Identify needs for system/device testing/certification• Seeking input from utility participants, as the purchasers
and decision makers for these systems and devices• Deliverables may include:
– Incubate new test programs– Requirements and test criteria development
This activity, led by SGIP’s Smart Grid Testing and Certification Committee (SGTCC), is focused on gathering viewpoints on testing/certification needs that require priority attention in supporting interoperability of Smart Grid systems and devices. The SGTCC issued a call for participation in this initiative, and is particularly seeking input from utility participants, as the purchasers and decision makers for these systems and devices. Information gathered will inform a “Top 10” list of testing needs and gaps that are recommended for SGIP action. End deliverables may include SGTCC support for industry testing initiatives, support to incubate new test programs, requirements and test criteria development, and new Priority Action Plans (PAPs) where appropriate to address these needs. Example testing priorities that have been cited thus far by SGTCC participants include Home Area Network (HAN) interoperability testing beyond typical Zigbee certification and meter security testing programs.
